FAQ
Can I apply superscript and subscript to the same text at the same time?

Why does the text look smaller after I apply superscript or subscript?
- This is the normal display effect of superscript and subscript formatting.
- The characters become relatively smaller and move above or below the baseline.
- If you want regular text again, remove the applied format.
What content is superscript or subscript useful for in WPS on iOS?
- It is useful for powers and exponents in math expressions.
- It is useful for element counts in chemical formulas such as H₂O.
- It is also useful for footnote numbers and reference markers.
